I don't think xtal is the best of names here. It generally is used as
an abbreviation for crystal. And the commit message is about there not
being a crystal, but an actual clock.

How is this clock named on the datasheet?
In the case of the PHY I used (RTL8211F), it is EXT_CLK. But this must be
generic to any (ethernet) PHY, so using ext_clk to match it would not be
good either.

Now this is about having an external clock, so the ext_clk name makes
sense in this case.

I'm not pushing one name or another, let's use what you feel is more
natural.
Just drop the name.
So I can just use devm_clk_get_optional_enabled(dev, NULL) and I'll get the 
first clock defines in the device tree ?

Detlev.
